The footbridge at the western end of the station
leads to St Cuthbert's Church which has a marvellous
stained-glass window, created by Goddard and Gibbs in 1992, depicting
a steam train passing through Kildale.

Each year, in the village hall which is decked out
in harvest-festival style, the people of Kildale hold a traditional
Mell Supper to celebrate the bringing in of the last sheaf of corn.
Each person is given a piece of "mell cake" (a kind of spicy
teacake, locally baked) at this event.

Walking

Cleveland Way The Cleveland Way, a long-distance footpath (110 miles), passes
through Kildale, to the north via Captain Cook's Monument and
Roseberry Topping to Slapewath, Skelton and Saltburn-by-the-Sea, or
to the south onto Battersby Moor, Urra Moor, Hasty Bank, Cringle Moor
and onward to Osmotherley. More
about the Cleveland Way

Roseberry Topping From the top of Roseberry Topping, there are superb views
towards Teesside, the Moors and the North Sea. The cliff-like side of
this outcrop is the result of a landslip occasioned by ironstone mining.
It is possible to walk along the Cleveland Way to Roseberry Topping
and then down to Great Ayton (two stations
away in the direction of Middlesbrough).
